Aaron stepped up and led the side after Tim was injured, and as a result he played one of his best games.

They're still going, that middle tier, you can't hold them. The money is too good in the UK. We need to find ways to counter that financially.

We know a team like the Blues can use fractured possession and use it well, so we've got to make sure that we're not loose with our ball control, which we certainly were last week.

We have to be mindful about spreading the workload around. We are conscious of the fact that it is hard for everyone to play every minute of every game.

I heard he [Sharpe] was at the gym this morning, but wasn't on the field. I am expecting him to play. If he's good enough to be sitting there working in the gym, he can't be too bad.

They've got a very good tactical appreciation of the kicking game, they can play with width and I thought their mauling game (last week) was outstanding.

He did take that hard. You're sometimes put in those positions where there's a spur of the moment decision and there's probably a million people out there with the benefit of hindsight who can probably tell you you've done the wrong thing. I think he learnt a bit there, but I supported what he did and we moved on.
